The Humor of Evolution

The evolutionary chart is just one of those images that’s ripe for editing and commentary. It’s become the subject of stand-up comedians, cartoonists, and internet artists. The reason is fairly obvious, you can make an impactful commentary on society with a simple image. Many of the jokes are very similar, showing how we’ve evolved into people that hunch over a computer all day, or that we’re all out of shape. Some of the images do provide a more unique perspective, and of course there are some that are just down right offensive. That can be said about most forms of humor though, so take these with a grain of salt and enjoy the Humor of Evolution :
